2012 Highlander remote start programming

I just purchased a 2012 Highlander and had remote start installed at the dealership. When I open or unlock the doors the engine cuts off. I know with my Ford they told me is was a safety issue and a new feature. I was able to find the programming in the forums and now my Ford stays running when I open the doors. Do such instructions exist for the Highlander?

I don't believe toyota has that feature for the highlander. I have an 08 hybrid with push button start and it also cuts off when you open the door. I think if your unhappy with this feature you have to go with an aftermarket remote starter usually has much more features..

Re: 2012 Highlander remote start programming

medic ur 1st mistake was getting factory remote start. It SUCKS! & so does the factory alarm. I have a 2012 highlander SE , I went to a local alarm place & got the VIPER 5901 alarm with remote start, it has a 1 mile range. I also have it on my 08 Sequoia Limited. The range on the remote start & alarm is 1000 times better than the factory crap they put in. I haven't had any issues on any of the alarms . I've had the Viper since 08 when I got the 08 Sequoia. I've had the Viper on the 2012 Highlander SE for almost 2 months now & NO PROBLEMS.
